Pollen and allergies — Torino
Turin is in the western Po Valley, at the foot of the Alps and near the meeting of several waterways. The plain, hills and urban parks have different plant calendars; the CAMS forecast provides a common city-area picture, not a reading for your street.
Periods and allergens to watch
- Late winter: alder and birch can appear before the grass season begins.
- Spring and summer: grasses are important in meadows, fields and green edges around the urban belt.
- Dry summer weather: heat, wind and low humidity can make outdoor exposure feel more troublesome.
- Late summer: mugwort and ragweed may occur in disturbed areas, roadsides and neglected land.
Turin’s page uses values modeled by CAMS through Open-Meteo, not local measurements from this service. The approximately 11 km resolution cannot precisely describe differences between the centre, hills and plain. Use the score together with your symptoms and actual local conditions.
The nearby Alps and Turin hills make the landscape more varied than the plain alone. Parks, rivers and the agricultural belt can have different vegetation and wind on the same day. Before a walk or workout, also check rain and humidity. The value is an area warning, not a point reading for the route you choose.
A journey from the centre toward the foothills can therefore cross several local settings.
